I don't see how he could have known.

Welcome Llaura, and I for one find it interesting, too. The phrase makes sense without Duroc, but it is severely limited, since without Duroc the invocation isn't saying what it's invoking, like trusting the earth to just answer and not shaping how it does so.

Also, very very interesting that Elena, with all her beautiful character complications, is the New Lord who is finally able to call up specific theurgies of the earth again.

The timing of the Seven Words' reveal is organic to the whole story.

I'm wondering if the explanation of the meaning behind the Seven Words is actually important exposition for future books. Namely, the reference to the foundations of the Earth reminds me of the Worm that crust of the Earth collected on. I'm thinking that perhaps Earthpower is radiated by the sleeping Worm. The awakening of the Worm and the method it's dealt with therefore has implications on the future of the Earthpower.
